Replacement cost is high even with employee discount. Wheel is off and being repaired as we speak. they will check and repair both the cosmetic issues and verify/repair the wheel being ut of round if need be.

 

Dunno about you but the prices I was quote in Montreal for repairing wheels is 150-200$ per wheel. They machine polish them to remove imperfections and recoat them I think.

 

$125 to machine edge, repaint, verify wheel is true and balance. Got it done friday and it looks awsome. I had it aligned to verify no issues and its perfect.... Almost like it never happened...

 

Since I occasionally also find myself "parking by Braille" I'm very happy with my steel wheels, one-size-wider tires, and disk wheel covers that fit inside the rim lip! Hundreds of dollars to fix one little parking indiscretion is too rich for my blood!

 

I'm very careful about parking by feel so it's not something that I anticipate happening soon. The damage to the wheel was caused by a chunk of cement that fell off a dump truck while on the highway. I was lucky I cleared it and didn't hit it head on.

 

do you happen to know what the specifications are of the stock 16's? i'm assuming 16x6+50?
